New Pet Tracker uses GPS Technology to Keep Eyes on Fido

Pet owners who have trouble keeping track of their furry friends can breathe a sigh of relief thanks to a new pet tracker hitting the market.

Get ready for Pod, a tiny GPS tracking device that attaches to your pet’s collar. Not only is it the smallest and lightest pet GPS tracker, it’s waterproof as well.

Unlike pet trackers that rely on Bluetooth, Pod uses GPS technology that enables owners to track their pet in real-time anywhere on the globe. With the corresponding app, pet owners can also track Fido’s activity and fitness levels and set customized safe zones. If a pet goes beyond the set zone, the app will send an alert.

The device has raised funding on Indiegogo.com and more than doubled its original goal. Each unit includes the GPS tracking device, two straps, a charging dock, and two interchangeable batteries. Expected retail for the device is $199 with an annual renewal fee of $30.
